The Citroen DS3

I have been looking at small hatchbacks or even super minis to get me to and from work safely, quickly and economically. I’ve looked at a few and there is one that catches my eye.

The Citroen DS3 – “The Citroën DS3 takes freedom of expression to the next level through elegant design, tactile quality and advanced technology”

I like individuality, I hate common cars – everyone has them. I like cars which I can tailor, adjust and change to reflect my personality even if just a little bit. Citroen have mastered that, it is as if they read my mind.

The DS3 is customisable at purchase - As well as a wide range of body colours, the roof panel will be offered in a choice of black, white, blue or red. Door mirrors and running strips will also be available in a choice of colour or chrome finishes, while the wheels and wheel centres will also offer a range of colour choices. The interior will come in leather or a variety of coloured fabrics. There'll even be five gear knob finishes available.

The DS3 1.6 HDI 90 gives on average 70.6 miles per gallon! Does 0-60 in 11 seconds and has a top speed of 112 MPH – not too shabby! The 1.6 HDI costs about £13,700. For a Citroen DS3 in Aldershot make sure you check out Charters Citroen.
